PPC £999 2011

Postby tommi » Wed Oct 27, 2010 9:39 am

Is there going to be a 2011 challenge

Laurie - (lotus excel) has decided to do the £999 challenge as his final year project for university and i have decided to help him.

I will open up a new project page but we need to get started on it asap. I understand that we cant get confirmation of a date yet but a confirmation of the event would be great if possible.

From the resounding success of this years event I'd say they'd be mad no to!

The rules seem to get tweaked a little every year but its basically to keep it all 'in the spirit' of the event, so keep to the spirit of it and you'll be fine.

Any clues as to the basis for the project?

I have moved this, the date is out, you have just less than a year to get ready

I have also added a build section, if you wish to have your build moved from 2010 to 2011 let me know

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
